Description of the new feature

I'd like an quick way to change the color scheme for my current tab temporarily, without making it a persistent change for that tab's profile. Tab profiles are bound to particular programs, but within an open console i may have 4 or 5 open CMD profile windows and would still like the ability to color them to help me identify which is which at a glance.

Proposed technical implementation details

So right now you can use the command palette for this! It is bound to Ctrl+Shift+P by default. It is also available in the dropdown menu.

Is that sufficient for your use case/?
